Natasha Denona Birthday Gift

Hey doll hey! How’s your day/night going? Great I hope. I’m still trying to get through this latest fibro flare… and the pending hurricane isn’t helping much with that.

I received a birthday gift in the mail yesterday and wanted to haul it before I use the items I received.

I received 5 new Natasha Denona midi palettes. 1 is the newest palette released and 4 are palettes that have been out for a bit… all very appreciated.

I already owned 2 of the midi sized palettes….

First Impression: This is a pastel pink and green palette that’s grown up and become a grungy palette.

I’m excited to see what kind of looks I can come up with using this palette.

First Impression: The first thing I thought when I saw this palette was it’s a perfect sweethearts day palette… be that valentines day, an anniversary, date night…. this is a romantic palette. The metallics are super buttery and really shiny. The mattes are soft enough to get good pigment but not so much that I got any kick back in the pans.

This palette has: 1 foiled duo-chrome, 3 foiled metallic, 1 metallic & 10 matte shades.

First Impression: This is a unique palette. This isn’t a color story that I’ve seen before. The metallics are really creamy and super pigmented. The yellows and oranges are gruny and that little pop of green in the bottom is a great addition.

First Impression: A full palette dedicated to bronze shades… yes please! I love that this palette is metallic heavy because I think if they had made it with more matte shades we would have gotten duplicate shades or at least shades that were too close in hue.

First Impression: Natasha Denona does nude shades amazingly. I wasn’t sure I would get this palette because I have other nude palettes from their line. I am so glad it was gifted to me! Pictures and videos don’t do this palette justice. There is so much more depth to this palette that you just have to see in person. The wet effect formula is super reflective and the foiled shades are stunning.
